PAST
|
When I was three my dad had to leave because he was an addict and still I rise I was sexually assaulted as a child as a teenager and still I rise I was kicked out of school in the fifth grade for bringing paraphernalia and still I rise I drank alcohol did drugs at a young age and still I rise I was kicked out and ran away from home often and still I rise I was in the system going in and out of juvenile hall and still I rise I suffered abusive relationships and still I rise I dropped out high school freshman year and still I rise I came back to high school close to graduating and still I rise After five years dating my current boyfriend we had a son he’s four now and still I rise I’m gonna continue to be successful build a strong family we all will rise MY FACE My face is reckless unable to hide expression smooth and rigid freckled and scarred some see it as art others do not lines and creases make you wander to the green and yellow of my eyes the sun sets kisses my skin I’m expressionless again |
